“Lego House/Life For Rent (JRL4/Live)” is a mix of ideas: building something solid, like a Lego house, and then that anxiety about drifting through life without ever really settling down, like living “for rent” because you won’t commit.
Johnny weaves together these metaphors about love as shelter, promising warmth, fixing what’s broken, with bigger questions about what it means to call a place home, what you’re worth, and how real or lasting it all feels.
When he performs it live, you really feel the punch. Those themes of love and owning your choices hit even harder.

I'm gonna pick up the pieces
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings
There's one thing on my mind, and it's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December
But I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And I keep you sheltered from the storm
That's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of luck
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
Ah, ah
I never ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
That your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
I've always thought
That I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
And live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cause there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent
And I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well, I deserve nothing more than I get
Cause nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
Nothing I have is truly mine
